wego Midland railroad to the amount of seventy-
five thousand dollars, the scrip for which is in

the amount we claimed due the town.
The interest required by law to be raised

filty dollars ($5,250), one half payable March
and the other half Sept. 1st, 1875, and it will
necessary to raise by tax the foregoing amount
for interest as aforesaid.
We also recommend to be raised by tax ten
hundred dollars ($1,000) for a sinking fund for
the purchase of bonds, making a grand total to
beraised during the ensuing year of six thousand
two hundred and fifty dollars ($6,250).
As required by law of 1871, chapter 537, section

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Board convened at the appointed
hour. All present.
Mr. P. H. Farrington, who was ap-
pointed a committee to visit Willard
Asylum, appeared before the Board and
presented the following report, which,
on motion of Mr. Woodbury, was ac-
cepted and ordered entered on the min-
utes:
-To the Honorable Board of Supervisors :
GENTS: In accordance with the resolution ap-
pointing me as a committee to visit the Willard
Asylum and investigate all matters connected
with the insane, in said asylum, chargeable to
this county, and particularly the expenses, and
also to remove from said asylum all who could
be properly cared for to the Tompkins county
poor -house, I would respectfully report that on
Friday, the 13th instant, I visited the said Wil-
lard Asylcm, and on making my business known,
John B. Chapin, Superintendent of the Asylum,
at once gave me access to their books and an-
sweredall my questions cheerfully. Isoonfonnd
an error in the amount estimated for their cloth-
ing of $260, which was done in copying from the
books, as they made the estimate at $20 for each
insane. I then took twelve of our patients in the
said asylum. six males and six femalea,andfonnd
That the past year they had charged to them for
clothing $178.39, making an average of about
$14,86, some having more than double the amount
of others on account of their destructiveness and
filthy habits.
The law allows them to charge the cost of their
-maintenance and no more, and there is a question
in relation to the Superintendent or Supervisors
removing them back to the poor -house, as the
act makes it obligatory for Superintendents to
send the pauper insane there if chronic cases,
and if recent attacks to send them to Utica, and
8
does not say anything about their removal, John
B. Chapin says he does not feel at liberty to de-
liver them up to be taken back to the poor -house„
but, if they have friends that will agree to take
them and provide for them, he will deliver them
at once.
The officers of the asylum have their annual
meeting on the second Tuesday of December
next, and that matter in relation to the power of
removal will be brought before them for a de-
cision.
I then visited all of the insane from our county
and found them well cl.,thed, and all the rooms
very clean and well warmed. All were much
more comfortably provided for than they could
be at any county poor -house ; and after carefully
examining them, 1 hardly think it would be good
policy to remove' any of them at present, it we
have the po Wer.
I must in conclusion say that I was treated by
the Superintendent and all of his assistants with
the greatest of courtesy, and all questions an-
swered at once cheerfully, and I have a higher
estimation of the institution the more I under-
stand its workings,
The following perso as are in the Willard Asy-
lum, and are chargeable according to law as fol-
lows :

On motion of Mr. Woodbury:
Resolved, That from the evidence presented

Mr. Wade. chairman of the commit-

which, on motion of Mr. Gross, was ac-
cepted and adopted by the Board.
Your committee on poor -house -and Superin-
tendents' reports would respectfully submit for
the consideration of this honorable body the fol-
lowing report :
That from the 15th day of November, 1873, to
the 15th day of November, 1879, there were sup-
ported in the county poor -house:

Making an aggregate of 142
Three are reported as having died, and a num-
ber were sent to Buffalo, accounting for the dif-
ference between one hnndred and thirty-one and
one hundred and forty-two as reported.
The ayerage number in the
poor -house during the year
past, as reported by the Su-
perintendents, was 40 223-365
The average expense for the
support of each pauper in
the county house, above the
proceeds of the county farm
was, for the year past, $47.20
And- the average cost per
week for each person so
maintained, was $0.00 40-100
Your committee will here express the satisfac-
tion felt by all that the management of the farm
has been so judicious that the cost is but ninety
cents per week for the eupport of each person in
the poor -house. While the committee entertain
the conviction that the inmates of the poor -house
are well cared for, well clothed and well fed, the
cost is reduced to the small sum named, and
placing the county of Tompkins in the front rank
in the management of homes for the unfortunate
of our race. -
The whole number of days said paupers 'have
been supported in the county poor honse during
year is in the aggregate 14,823 days.
The whole amount of drafts drawn on
the County Treasurer for bills audit
ed by the Superintendents for the
rapport of the institution daring the -
same time, over and above the pro-
ceeds of the county farm was$.33,706 00
The following table will indicate in what man-
ner the amount has been expended:

Repairs on poor house and other build-
ings 245 71

Total $3,706 00
The county buildings are in a good state of
repairs, and indicate that carefal hands have an
eye to the interests of the county, in looking to
needed repairs, so that the same may not be
come dilapidated and go to ruin.
The following statement will bo given for the
benefit of the tax payers and also for the careful
consideration of all interested in the develop -
ment of agriculture in our county.

The statement will indicate the amount of pro-
duce raised on the poor horse farm, and will be
to all acquainted with farming an indication of
the management of -the same by our worthy Su-
perintendents. We ask for It a careful examin
ation by the tax payers of Tompkins county.

The number of paupers remaining in the coun-
ty poor house at the time of the Superintendents'
report was 38, many of them on the threshold of
the grave, and soon the sands of life with them
will run out. Others are imbecile and idiotic,
and others are broken by disease, and very few
are in condition to do much to make the farm
and the institution 00 nearly self-supporting.
The amount raised last year for the sup-
port of the poor in the county was$4,427 72
And the amount expended as reported
by Superintendents 3,706 00

suing year at $2,200 00

Poor 130 00
For the transportation of paupers to the
poor house 25 00
For the poor house keeper's salary..... 500 00
Making a total of $4,055 00
To meet the estimates of the Superintendents
there remains .the sum of $721 72 from the
amount raised last year. To meet the balance
your committee would present the following res-
olution :
Resolved, That the sums expended by the Su-
perintendents of the Poor for the aid and main-
tainance of the poor in the towns of Tompkins
county, be levied and collected in.said towns re-
spectively, as the amount is reported by the Su-
